I think what Mr. Foye is saying is that revenue from these tolls do go to service debt, but only debt for the transportation facilities and not for the other things like the World Trade Center.

Last month the Supreme Court ruled that certain enforcement provisions of the Port of Los Angeles clean truck program were preempted by Federal law.

Do you agree that without a change in Federal law, polluting truck bans could be successfully challenged in court?

It is important to note that the ATA litigation did not at any time challenge the ports' ability to impose clean truck program mandates.

As Congressman Nadler said, urban centers like the New York City region will be the frontline of any national campaign to implement an effective and efficient national freight strategy.

Thanks to the support of Governor Cuomo and the tireless efforts of Congressman Nadler, the Port Authority...

Thank you for holding this hearing in my district, this hearing on how freight transportation challenges in urban areas impact the Nation.

Person, this amendment stops the government from misusing section 215, to engage in the dragnet collection of all of our personal telephone records. Congress did not grant the executive the authority to collect everything it wants so long…

Today, we review the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder.

Without preclearance the Federal Government was always playing a whack-a-mole game with local jurisdictions.

I hope we can keep our focus where it belongs and lead to some progress.

I hope that we can nonetheless work cooperatively in the same bipartisan spirit that guided our 2006 deliberations.

I strongly believe that the facts we found in 2006 made a compelling case for retaining Section 5.

To be clear, the Voting Rights Act is not solely about racial animus. It is about political power.

The fact that a secret court, unaccountable to public knowledge of what it is doing, for all practical purposes unaccountable to the Supreme Court, may join you in misusing or abusing the statute is of no comfort whatsoever.

I believe this is totally unprecedented and is way beyond the statute.

Are there any instances in the history of the United States that you know of where a grand jury subpoena said get every--get all information other than the content of a telephone call?

The problem, obviously, Mr. Cole, with what we are hearing from this panel... is that everything in the world is relevant.

If I had a trillion-dollar asset and I was getting $24 million return, I should be put in the nuthouse.
